I searched for posts regarding the quality of DC-DC converters but could not find any.
I am looking for a 48-12 step down converter to run a 12v fuse panel off my 48v battery bank. I am aware there are Victron offerings for this but for the 30A version they are asking over $200. Is there an actual tangible build quality / functional / efficiency difference that would justify this price compared to other converters, or are you essentially paying for the name?
Though I am afraid of some of the cheap options on Amazon, the below product seems to be significantly cheaper than Victron with an additional 20A of output. What am I missing?

My main components (inverter, charge controllers) are Victron, but the DC-DC converter seems like something I can cheap out on.
